I am a huge fan of gobi manchurian recipe and other Indo Chinese Street food recipes. Having said that, the plain cabbage manchurian recipe was very new to me. Basically, my first encounter with this was during my husband’s office colleagues’ potluck party. One family had cooked this crispy cabbage manchurian as a starter or side dish with veg fried rice. Honestly, I was sceptical about this recipe till I had my first bite. As matter of fact, it would be so difficult or distinguish the difference between the authentic one. Even my husband could not resist it and we both enjoyed it as a side dish to our veg pulao.

In addition, some easy tips and recommendations for a crispy and spicy dry cabbage veg manchurian recipe. Firstly, grate the cabbage leaves finely so that it easily mixes with the maida and corn flour mixture. Otherwise, the oil may seep in while deep frying or even the balls can disintegrate. Secondly, you can easily extend the recipe by adding other veggies like capsicum, beans, spring onions, peas and onions. However, do not over-try add a lot of veggies as it may disturb the balance. Lastly, this recipe can also be extended to a gravy recipe by adding cornstarchto the manchurian sauce. You can refer to my gobi manchurian gravy recipe for a more detailed recipe.
